Abstract

Non-degenerate fs pump-probe experiments in the UV-visible range for ultrafast carrier dynamics study of InGaN with adjustable pump and probe photon energies are implemented with simultaneously multi-wavelength second-harmonic generation (SHG) of a 10 fs Ti:sapphire laser. The multi-wavelength SHG is realized with two β-barium borate crystals of different cutting angles. The full-widths at half-maximum of the SHG pulses are around 150 fs, which are obtained from the cross-correlation measurement with a reverse-biased 280-nm light-emitting diode as the two-photon absorption photo-detector. Such pulses are used to perform non-degenerate pump-probe experiments on an InGaN thin film, in which indium-rich nano-clusters and compositional fluctuations have been identified. Relaxation of carriers from the pump level to the probe one through the scattering-induced local thermalization (<1 ps) and then the carrier-transport-dominating global thermalization (in several ps) processes is observed.
